Unplanned: The Dramatic True Story of a Former Planned Parenthood Leader's Eye-Opening Journey Across the Life Line (Focus on the Family Books)

by Abby Johnson

Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, after participating in an actual abortion procedure for the first time, walked down the street to join the Coalition for Life. "Unplanned" is a heart-stopping personal drama of life-and-death encounters, a courtroom battle, and spiritual transformation that speaks hope and compassion into the political controversy that surrounds this issue. Telling Abby's story from both sides of the abortion clinic property line, this book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the life versus rights debate and helping women who face crisis pregnancies.

I heard about this DVD from a blog tour invite, but did not have the availability at the time to tour it. My friend Amy did however and she let me borrow it after she was finished. I was not sure how I would feel about it, but I was interested and trust pretty much most things that come from Focus on the Family with out a doubt. The documentary starts with explaining how Abby was just a normal good girl growing up until the pressures of college and things changed a bit. She never was really bad, but she did get herself into situations that she shouldn't have been in.

It is interested to hear how the organization then was able to provide the support she felt she was missing and in turn she gave eight years of her life and dedication to, because she wanted to in turn provide the support and protection that she had been given.

Yes it was all a lie.

Doesn't it make you wonder how life might have been if someone strong and with God on their side had been there for Abby?

Well now for anyone else, Abby is there for them. She is there for the girls that need to know the truth about what an abortion really does. She is there for the clinic workers who need to know and believed the falsehoods that were fed them, which she believed herself for so many years. The truth needs to be known and have a voice, and that's what she is doing and this documentary tells you all about how she got to that point.
